I hear good reports about the flappy paddle gearboxes though
Being part of VAG, you'd have thought so.
Ion, I ordered Black Ice on cd today (and If You Want Blood and For Those About To Rock). I have a complete inability to buy only one cd at a time; they tend to arrive in threes, like buzzes

Well ladies and gents (and CB) of Trivial Towers.. the scooby is back!
Picked her up last night and after paying the eye-watering bill off I headed home. Car seemed to be running OK until I stopped for fuel when it started idling weird (revs seemed to be hunting between about 800-1200 rpm) and it threw a CEL. Quick read with the app on my phone suggested that it was "Idle Control System Malfunction", tried clearing the code to no effect so dropped £30 of fresh vpower in and trundled down the road to investigate further. Tried another code reset and this time it cleared and hasn't returned so far. Car also felt perkier with the fresh fuel in as well so really hoping it was just the car objecting to 3+ month old fuel in the tank!
That aside I'm insanely glad its back - going to try get some logs over the weekend to see if the boosting issue is sorted
Was on the track on Saturday with the Scottish Scoobie club, some fooking quick cars. Had am amazing whiteline there as well, very set-up car. Not surprisingly it was by far the quickest time. Love all the whooshing and popping from the dump valves and turbo's Picked her up last night and after paying the eye-watering bill off I headed home.
